I have a couple of machines that have uptimes of 533, and 522. They
have "NetBSD 1.1B", and "NetBSD 1.2_ALPHA" respectively. They don't
do a lot, but they always do it. (the second is a PPP server, with 2
total silo overflows, one per com port, and 4MB of RAM)
While neither one is actually running a release, they are remarkably
stable. NetBSD 1.2 on another more frequently used machine does just
as well, though I reboot it occasionally because I muck with the hardware.
